Replace Timer Knob on Bosch WFB 2005 Washing Machine?

The timer knob on my Bosch WFB 2005 washing machine is spinning round, ie it can no longer click round the programmes. Is it a simple job to replace the timer knob to fix it and can anyone help me with how this is done?
Many Thanks
Sandra

please read this and ponder (think about) has the machine been playing up recently ?
changing the timer knob may not cure your problem as some machines without a display console spin the program knob when the machine has developed a FAULT.
The machine could have reached a point in wash program and then developed a fault hence the spinning knob, i e
FAILING to fill up inlet solenoid valve
" to heat the water, heater element/thermostat
" to turn drum motor
" to pump off, drain filter/ pump
" to /rinse , inlet solenoid
" to spin pump or motor
need to watch dial and see WHEN this develops.
